Marriage can be a real killer.
On a warm summer
morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding
anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when
Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the
Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with
cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but
passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put
anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and
the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades
an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly
evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is he really a killer?
As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?
